I made a batch of Cooper's English Bitter a few months ago using the suggested ingredients on the can, and it turned out GREAT. I actually prefer this to almost anything I can buy in the store.
Anyway, I was ready to make another batch of this, and I lacked the 500g of extra light malt that the can suggests.....so I just added 2 pounds of dextrose and went with it (this is in comparison with the 1 pound dextrose / 500g of extra light dry malt that I used for the first time).
Any predictions on how it will taste? Anyone else just use only dextrose instead of dry malt? I know DME isn't fully fermentable and thus gives the beer more "body."
